happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is barylambda, a pantodont from the paleocene and early eocene. despite looking like a cross between a ground sloth and a wombat, recent evidence suggests that barylambda was a stem-ungulate, related to modern hoofed mammals

happy #fossilfriday! this is whatcheeria, a carnivorous tetrapod from the early carboniferous. although its limbs were stout and robust, they were ill-suited for life on land, and likely spent most of their time in the water
